Bonnie "Bambi" Marie (Watson) Jolliff was born to Robert and Bonnie Watson on November 26, 1974. Bambi grew up on the family ranch, where she raised and showed horses. In 1990, Robert and Bonnie moved their family to Ryegate, MT. In 1993, Bambi graduated high school, and a year later gave birth to her oldest daughter, Lacey. In 1995, she moved to Judith Gap, where she met Brian Jolliff. Bambi worked for Gaugler Angus and Eddie's Corner then. In 1997, Dakota was born, and in 2000 Sierra was born. On August 23, 2002, Brian and Bambi got married. In 2009, they moved their family to Lewistown, where Bambi was a bartender at the Glacier Tavern, where she loved the conversation and karaoke every Friday night. In 2012, her youngest daughter, Serena, was born. Bambi enjoyed singing, spending time with her family, and most of all her three grandchildren.

She is survived by her husband Brian, and their four daughters Lacey, Dakota, Sierra, and Serena, three grandchildren Brinley, Angel, and Koly, her mother Bonnie, brothers Joe, Tracy, and Mike, sister Mary, as well as many nieces and nephews.
